Every NFC South team loading up for a fight at the championship (except one.) Going to be interesting to see who will succeed. Sanders gives Brees another target besides Thomas. We will get to watch them kick our asses all season...if there is a season.

Does anyone know how long a team can go over the cap limit or at least when they have to be compliant?  Unless the Saints are releasing some folks or got some re-worked contracts pending, I'm fairly certain they went over the cap limit with the Sanders deal.  They were close to the limit before that.

Edit: The only other way that could have pulled off that feat was to seriously back-load the Peat and Sanders deals to where they both are making peanuts in year 1.

Another couple of moves are in the pipe, don't you fret. We still need space to sign our draft class.

So signing a WR that is on the back end of career to a 8 million a year contract is good? Especially when they're having have to restructure to free up the funds.

The Saints have been in "win now" mode for about 3-4 years now. This is probably Brees last year, so they may as well move all their chips into the pot. 

Sure, it will likely come with a precipitous fall in the next 3-4 years as they enter "real" cap hell but I would make the same sacrifice too if I knew my legitimate window for a Super Bowl was just basically next season.

Remember, MOST free agents under-perform their contracts.  The name brands most always do.  Every year, people get all bent out of shape over free agency.  We are doing exactly what I thought we'd do in free agency.  I like our approach--high upside, low risk.  No--not all are going to become superstars.  Role players is what you seek in free agency unless your franchise is in "win now at all costs" mode.  This crowd bitches that we do not take the bait in free agency.  While this may fill a need (NO lost a few WRs from last year) it is what it is.

We are just basically accumulating rental players. All short term contracts.

Saints won't make the playoffs this year.  Competitive NFC and even more competitive NFC South.  and Drew's accuracy over 20 yds is crap all last season and is only going to get worse.  Their transition to Taysom officially begins this season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
